    2. FNA – UNSC to Revise Draft Resolution on Iran
      TEHRAN – The UN Security Council will revise a draft resolution on new sanctions against Iran over its atomic program and call a vote after the International Atomic Energy Agency issues its report on Iran, Britain’s UN envoy said on Wednesday.
      Washington had been pushing for a swift vote on the third sanctions resolution against Iran.
      But South Africa and other elected members of the UN Security Council have been pressing the five permanent council members – the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China – to wait for a new progress report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran due next week.
      The permanent members met with the 10 elected members to discuss the resolution. After the meeting, Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations, John Sawers, was asked when a vote on the resolution could be expected. 

  3. THE JERUSALEM POST – US, Israel see eye to eye on Iran threat
    Sheera Claire Frenkel , Feb. 19, 2008
    Israel and the US see nearly eye-to-eye on the threat of a nuclear Iran, differing only on when Teheran will be able to build an atomic bomb, a key American senator told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
    „There is now and always has been a slight difference of opinion about the precise timing of the threat of [a nuclear] Iran, but in response to the fundamental nature of Iran’s desire to acquire nuclear weapons, and its ongoing development of fuels for that purpose, there is no difference of opinion in that regard,“ said Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Arizona).
    Recent intelligence assessments provided to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee suggested that Iran could have a nuclear weapon by the end of 2009. US intelligence estimates, however, say it will take the Islamic Republic at least one year longer.
    Kyl is the Senate minority whip and a close ally of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.

  7. FNA – Persian Gulf Banks Shield Iran from US Sanctions
    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has reported assistance from Persian Gulf Arab states in shielding Tehran’s banking system, which have been targeted by the United States.
    Iranian Central Bank Gov. Tahmasb Mazaheri said at least two Persian Gulf Cooperation Council states were assisting Iran’s banking system to thwart US sanctions. In an address on Feb. 5, Mazaheri cited Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
    In 2007, the Bush administration warned the UAE to stop helping Iran’s banking and trade system.
    „Particularly in the region, Bahrain and the [United Arab] Emirates and other neighbors all around Iran’s borders, we have a lot of partners who are working with us in the long term,“ Mazaheri said.
    This was the first time Tehran has cited the Persian Gulf Arab allies of the United States as facilitators of Iran’s banking system. In 2007, the United States imposed sanctions on leading Iranian banks.

  8. FNA – Iranian Business with UAE Continues despite US Sanctions
    TEHRAN (FNA)- Thousands of Iranian firms are still doing business in the country’s top trading partner, the United Arab Emirates, despite a US drive to choke Tehran’s economy over its nuclear program.
    Iranian businesses „have not had any problem with local banks because we are considered UAE companies“ under local rules requiring at least 51 percent of a business to be owned by an Emirati national, said Nasser Hashempour, executive deputy president of the Dubai-based Iranian Business Council.
    The same goes for fully Iranian-owned firms operating out of free zones „because they are registered in the UAE and their sponsor is the free zone,“ which would pull their licenses if they flouted the rules, he told AFP.

Auch Amnesty International richtete einen Appell an die iranische Regierung, die drei jungen Bahá’í sofort freizulassen. Die EU ist über die „sich verschlechternde Situation ethnischer und religiöser Minderheiten im Iran, vor allem über die schlimme Lage der Bahá’í“ ernsthaft besorgt, heißt es in der Erklärung vom 7. Februar 2008.
